Dropbox Folder stuck on File Explorer (Windows 11)
After unistalling Dropbox, that folder got stuck in my file explorer and it doesn't go away! (Windows 11)
I completely unistalled the program and I have zero idea why that thing is still there...
Issue has been fixed, sadly with the hard way..
Deleted a (most likely) windows folder in registry data, it removed the Dropbox folder from the file explorer... and destroyed my windows!
Thankfully I fixed that within minutes and didn't lose anything, thanks anyway!

Hey Milkwaii, thanks for joining our Community.
Uninstalling the Dropbox application for your computer, won't automatically remove the Dropbox folder as well.
Are you keeping your Dropbox account and your files?
If so, I would suggest going to your account settings and deleting the computer from your connected devices.
That way, you can safely delete the Dropbox folder from it.
I hope this helps, but let me know if you need anything else!
